Malakas neck tattoo

Lorial from NYC uploaded a photo of her malakas Baybayin neck tattoo.
The background behind the tat is; the first one i got was the strength character in Chinese.
one i am not too proud of since i learned that it is a common tat – but it is what it is. i wanted
to keep with the theme and thought that the Baybayin translation spoke to the struggle i have had
being adopted from the Philippines and raised by a white American family. much of the pain has
been my disconnect from my birth culture and practically non existent knowledge of the tongue.
